Did you know a 55+ community isn't actually allowed to be 100% age-restricted? Under federal law, up to 20% of the occupied homes in an age-restricted community can be occupied by residents under 55 — think a spouse, a live-in caregiver, or family who inherited the home. As long as at least 80% of occupied units have someone 55 or older living there, the community keeps its legal age-restricted status. It's called the 80/20 rule, and it's one of those quiet details behind a lot of the manufactured home and 55+ communities you'll find around Palmetto and Manatee County — communities built around low-maintenance living, clubhouses that actually get used, and neighbors who look out for each other. Did you already know about the 80/20 rule, or is this new to you?
